Peter Luck
Peter Anthony Luck (5 January 1944 – 6 September 2017) was an Australian author, TV journalist, producer and presenter. Among the shows he worked on were This Day Tonight, Four Corners, Sunday, Today Tonight, Inside Edition, Bicentennial Minutes … A Time to Remember, This Fabulous Century, The Australians, 50 Fantastic Years and Where Are They Now?.[1]
This Fabulous Century was a 37-part series produced by the Seven Network, after Luck's previous employer, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation had declined, believing that a series that relied so heavily on black-and-white film, when the country had only recently switched to colour television, would not be successful. It was shown on Sunday nights on Seven, and became the hit of 1979.[2]
Personal life
Luck was married to Penny for 43 years, and they had a son and daughter.[3]
Death
Luck died on 6 September 2017 at Concord Repatriation General Hospital.[4] He had cancer and Parkinson's disease when he died.[3]
